I made an astounding discovery yesterday. One that rattled me greatly. In fact, I’m still a little shaken.
I have been betrayed and by people I trusted. I’m talking about you. And you and you and you and you and you and you and all the other readers I don’t know about because so many of you lurk and never say hi. (That’s another issue we’ll have to cover some other time.)
*sniff*
You might be feeling guilty because you know what you’ve done, but I’m guessing a bunch of you are sitting there thinking, “Huh?” Let me fill you in.
My future second husband got a wax figure at Madame Tussaud’s and no one told me. No one. Not a single person. How is this possible? I thought y’all were my friends.
I want that woman's job.
I kid, I kid. I think we’re all still friends. But seriously, how is that no one told me about this?
Have I not expressed clearly enough that this man is mine? Should I start posting about him more often? People, if there’s news about him, no matter how small, I want to know.
Okay, I think I can shake this betrayal off and get on with my day. But feel free to make it up to me in whatever way you think is best.
If you want to see a great video, check out this clip from the Ellen show, in which the future second Mr. Jen sees his waxen likeness for the first time. Fabulous.
This means that the next time we’re in London, I’m going to have to go to Madame Tussaud’s again, even though I swore after our visit four years ago that that would be the last time I step foot in that crowded overpriced tourist trap. Clearly, a photo* of me with Colin is order. In fact, I really need to wrap my arms around him and try him on for size. There’s no sense in us convincing our current respective spouses and bringing each other into one big happy marriage if he’s not going to be a good fit.
* A REAL photo, not a photoshopped one.
And now I’m off to watch that video again. Happy Thursday to you all.

I swear on my DVD copy of Love Actually that I did not know about this.
I’ll MSPaint another photo of you together if you’d like, but sending you to London is outside my budget. And I didn’t know either.
I had no idea, but lately, my google searches have been filled with all manner of Joe’s abs and Magic Mike. Forgot where I was going with this…
Oh yes…do you suppose his wax figure is assembled like a Ken doll and that his “man-bits” are just a flat slab of wax?
What?? Wait! When?!?
I had no idea… someone is definitely keeping key information from the rest of us!
Perhaps the brits need ample time to drool all over him before sharing him with the rest of us. I hadn’t heard either.
I had no idea! And I promise, if I make it back to London before you do, I’ll sneak him out and ship him to Virginia (but you’re gonna have to chip in on the postage!)
Really. I promise you would have been thevery first person I would have told had I known! There was a media conspiracy of silence!!
And just out of curiosity – will they let you throw your arms around the, uh, likenesses at the museum?
People are definitely allow to touch the wax figures.
I’m sorry. I was trapped in the land of disconnect. Seriously. I have the google reader unread count to prove it. Not to mention thousands of emails and no idea of any news from the last 9 days. (No tvs, no phones, and definitely no internet connection for 9 days. Heck, even cell reception was only available about every two days.) I’m back now and promise to be more vigilant.
